Riddle me this! WILL THE PHOTON 4G GET ANDROID 4.0 ICS? YES OR NO SIMPLY PUT!

As the subject line states, will the Photon 4G get the new OS when it's released? To me this should be a no-brainer given Google's $12.5 Billion acquisition that is underway to buy Motorola Mobility. I mean if the Samjunk (my spoof term for Samsung) GSII will get it, why not this? And please readers, I am disclosing upfront that I'll no longer consider Samjunk (my spoof term for Samsung) given the experience I had in getting the latest OS Upgrades on it. Two words...completely Painful! In February or March 2011 we finally got 2.2.1 after being promised to get it Q4 of 2010 and the day I added the iPhone 4s as a 3rd device to my account, low and behold we get 2.3.5. I am not going to be giving them a second chance to fail like this give...(continues)

Had this phone now for about 3 weeks- coming off HTC Evo Shift. Wanted bigger screen, etc.

I've noticed though, that this phone doesn't seem to want to roam onto Verizon's network from Sprint. I dive an area in LA called "Beverly Glen" (for those of you who aren't familiar) 2x/day back and forth from work. Sprint's coverage in the middle of the canyon there is particularly bad and on my HTC Shift, the little roaming triangle would come up and I'd be able to talk on Verizon's network for that portion of the Canyon where Sprint had little to no coverage.

Same route with this phone and all I get are "no bars- I don't get "no service" so I think the phone is staying locked onto a very weak (probably echoing) Sprint Signal but it never seem...(continues)

I just bought this phone. I have 14 days in which to return it. How do I find my keypad now that I have found wifi, and found my home wifi, but I can't enter the password because there is no keypad on the screen...

I drive truck and find myself in places where my CDMA phone doesn't have coverage, but my prepaid GSM phone does. I saw that it was quad band, but haven't found out any info on if the gsm side of the phone is unlocked or what...

Hello, I have the USCellular Electrify and can't find where I go to the "profile" settings for "work" "home" and "weekend" profile settings. I have seen it pop up when I didn't want to deal with it, but how do I get it when I want it?Thanks

Well duh, I found it then I lost it again.I was hoping that the pictures I took while in "office" profile would be the only ones that were displayed in the gallery from "office". But actually all are there.

I am a Sprint premier customer and received the Photon on Friday. I previously had the EVO 3D (upgraded from the EVO 4G). The Photon rocks. I get 4G coverage in areas that I never could with the HTC. It's fast, has excellent build qualit...(continues)

I sell have sold phones for all 4 carriers and now feel bad for sprint employees and customers who will experience Motoblur for the first time.....it is annoying.......the servers r down 4 days.....and u absolutely can't use ur phone without logging in or creating an account on the phone and if u create 1 using computer u can't login on phonw cuz their "mobile servers" r down..it Motorolla's way of punishing the customers who left their razrs for blackberrys last decade....congrats Motorolla u won.

I think it has more to do with Sprint's product plan. Motorola didn't fit in because Sprint was getting such great products from HTC and Samsung. Motorola has been slow to market with the smart phones (they were living fat off the Razor for far too ...(continues)

I had an EVO since it came out and was always able to sync my contact's picture from my laptop to my phone and visa versa. I just got the Photon and when I went to sync with my Microsoft Exchange, everything syncs except the contact's pictures. What's up with that?Is this going to be fixed or do I need to return this phone and go back to my Evo and wait for the I Phone?

When I saw the Atrix (AT&T) I liked the dock concept, enabling big keyboard screen support. However they won't let you use the dock without paying for tethering on AT$T. Which seems like a rip off since you are not sharing data with an external device only controlling your local one with a more accessible input device and screen.

I wonder if Sprint will allow the dock on the standard plan (naturally with our carrier exclusive "premium data" charge)?

I've seen nothing to indicate its going to cost extra to use the feature and furthermore doing so would go against Sprint's overall billing concepts. They're not going to try to nickel and dime you to death like ATT does.

Questions will be:Battery life? (way to short on my EVO)Will it be better at WIMAX (bad on my EVO and a battery killer when the phone is searching for a WIMAX signal, whereas the Verizon charge LTE works consistently and doesn't kill the battery)?Does it actually have GSM 1800? (not listed on the Motorola website specifications page but shown on Phonescoop.)

Just like the Verizon Droid Bionic this phone is announced now but wont be launched anytime soon, if ever. I currently have a Sprint and a Verizon phone and ready to commit to one. ITS A RACE- Bionic or Photon wichever ACTUALLY launches first will win me!

Just to let you kniw Verizon's LTE puts out much, much better speeds because of the 700mhz frequency. The fastest speed I've gotten is 35mbps, Samsung Droid Charge, Las Vegas, using the speedtest.net app.

I'm right there with ya, Jonathan. AndroidCentral says that according to Motorola reps the Photon WON'T have a locked bootloader which was one of my fears. If this beast has SMR support, I'm SOLD! I wonder if it has hit the FCC yet...

It's a shame, I was going to get this phone instead of the HTC EVO 3D (in a contest of 3D screen vs. GSM capabilities, the GSM capabilities are more important). However, now that I hear the bootloader will be locked, I am definitely getting the EVO instead. Moto's bloatware/blurware is particularly egregious and not being able to run stock Android on this device is deal breaker for me (as I am sure for many others).

Stupid, self-inflicted wounds like insisting on locking bootloaders while essentially all of the competition leaves theirs' unlocked will be the downfall of this company. Sometimes you've got to wonder what goes through the heads of those executives. Note HTC's latest revenue numbers: up 116% yoy. Get a clue Motorola!

There are 2 things this badboy has going for it has an Nvidia dual core processor that will allow it to be a "playstation" phone and compete head to head with iphone. It has a crapload of storage memory and a giant hi res screen... People don't "alway...(continues)
